BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for an amino-substituted phosphazene compound, a manufacturing method for a electrolyte solution for a nonaqueous secondary battery using this, and a manufacturing method for a nonaqueous secondary battery.

2. Description of the Related Art

A phosphazene compound is applied to various uses. Particularly, a phosphazene compound is recently noticed as a compound that can provide excellent incombustibility to various materials. For example, a phosphazene compound is used as a compound that can provide incombustibility to a lithium ion secondary battery, to be an additive of an electrolyte solution thereof (see JP2005-190873A). In this document, a derivative obtained by substituting halogenated cyclic phosphazene with an alcohol compound is used as a flame retardant.

Recently, a synthesis method for a derivative obtained by introducing a specific substituent to a phosphazene compound is known. For example, with respect to the alkoxy-substituted fluorinated phosphazene, a method for reacting a compound represented by (PNF₂)_(n) with alcoholate represented by R—OM (in the formula, R represents an alkyl group and M represents alkali metal) or alcohol represented by R—OH (in the formula, R has the same meaning as above) without a catalyst or in presence of a basic catalyst such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate is known (see JP2009-161559A, JP2001-335590A, JP2001-139584A, WO03/005479A, and JP2001-516492A).

With respect to the synthesis of fluorinated phosphazene in which an amino group is substituted, a method for reacting a compound represented by (PNF₂)_(n) and two equivalents of amine (see Journal of the Chemical Society [Section] A: Inorganic, Physical, Theoretical, 1970, pages 2324 to 2329) is known. This document suggests to perform amino substitution reaction by using dimethylaminotrimethylsilane.

Meanwhile, as a synthesis method for a polysubstitution-type phosphazene compound, it is suggested to introduce a substituent in a high substitution ratio for a short period of time by reacting a compound represented by (PNCl₂)_(n) and a hydroxy compound in presence of a catalyst such as zinc oxide and zinc chloride (see JP1988-258928A (JP-S63-258928A) and JP1989-087635A (JP-S64-087635A)).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

With respect to the synthesis method for the phosphazene compound as described above, several methods have been suggested. However, the methods have not been sufficiently reviewed. Recently, as the phosphazene compound is widely used as a flame retardant applied to a battery, an electronic material, or the like, diversification of synthesis method is an indispensable object.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, the invention is described in detail. Descriptions of composition requirements described below are performed based on representative embodiments and specific examples. However, the invention is not limited to the embodiments.

In the manufacturing method according to the invention, an amino-substituted phosphazene compound is synthesized by reacting a fluorinated phosphazene compound and an amine compound in presence of a catalyst (hereinafter, also called a “specific catalyst”) consisting of a compound having a specific element M and an oxygen atom in a structure. Hereinafter, the invention is described in detail mainly referring to preferable embodiment according to the invention.

<Amino-Substituted Phosphazene Compound>

In the amino-substituted phosphazene compound synthesized in the invention, the number of substituted amino groups is not particularly limited, preferably 1 to 6, more preferably 1 to 4, and particularly preferably 1 or 2. According to the invention, the amino group has a meaning of including a substituted amino group (for example, an alkylamino group or an acylamino group). Preferable examples thereof include an amino group (NR¹R²) (the same as NR³R⁴) identified in the substituent Y¹ below.

The phosphazene compound is preferably a cyclic phosphazene compound and more preferably a cyclic phosphazene compound of a 6-membered ring or a 8-membered ring.

The amino-substituted phosphazene compound is preferably a compound represented by Formula (1) below.

If groups other than Y¹ and Y² are fluorine atoms among halogen atoms, the groups contribute to providing particularly high incombustibility or maintaining battery performance, for example, when the groups are applied as additives (flame retardants) of a electrolyte solution of a lithium ion battery, and thus are preferable.

Y¹ represents —NR¹R². R¹ and R² each independently represent a monovalent substituent or a hydrogen atom and preferably represent a monovalent substituent. In R¹ and R², substituents each other may be form a ring, or R¹ and R² each other may have an arbitrary substituent T. The substituent T is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a halogen atom (for example, a fluorine atom), a group containing a carbonyl group (for example, a carbonyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms), an alkoxy group (for example, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms), and a silyl group (for example, a silyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms). Examples of the group containing a carbonyl group include an acyl group (the number of carbon atoms is preferably 2 to 12 and more preferably 2 to 6, an acetyl group, a propionyl group, and the like), an aryloyl group (the number of carbon atoms is preferably 7 to 23, more preferably 7 to 15, and particularly preferably 7 to 11, a benzoyl group, and the like), an acyloxy group (the number of carbon atoms is preferably 2 to 12 and more preferably 2 to 6, an acetyloxy group, a propionyloxy group, and the like), an aryloyloxy group (the number of carbon atoms is preferably 7 to 23, more preferably 7 to 15, and particularly preferably 7 to 11, a benzoyloxy group, and the like), a (meth)acryloyl group, a (meth)acryloyloxy group, a carbamoyl group (the number of carbon atoms is preferably 1 to 12 and more preferably 1 to 6, a carbamoyl group, an N-methylcarbamoyl group, N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl, N-phenylcarbamoyl, and the like).

R¹ and R² each independently and preferably represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, and an alkenyl group. Among these, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms is preferably, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms is more preferable, and an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms is particularly preferable. R¹ and R² are bonded or condensed to each other to form a ring. At this point, hetero atoms such as nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, sulfur atoms may be integrated to each other. Specifically, a ring may be formed via a heterolinking group described below. As the formed ring, a 5-membered ring or a 6-membered ring is preferable. As the 5-membered ring, a nitrogen-containing 5-membered ring is preferable, and examples of the ring structure include a pyrrole ring, an imidazole ring, a pyrazole ring, an indazole ring, an indole ring, a benzimidazole ring, a pyrrolidine ring, an imidazolidine ring, a pyrazolidine ring, an indoline ring, and a carbazole ring (all are N-substituted). Examples of the 6-membered ring include a piperidine ring, a morpholine ring, and a piperazine ring (all are N-substituted).

Y² represents a fluorine atom or —NR³R⁴ and particularly preferably represents a fluorine atom. R³ and R⁴ are respectively the same as R¹ and R², and preferable examples thereof are also the same. R³ and R⁴ may be bonded or condensed to each other to form a ring, a preferable form of this ring structure is also the same as the preferably form in a case where R¹ and R² are bonded or condensed to each other to form a ring as described above. The reason that the fluorine atom is preferable among the halogen atoms is also the same as that described above. R³ and R⁴ each may have the arbitrary substituent T. Examples of the arbitrary substituent T that R³ and R⁴ each have include the same examples of the substituent T that R¹ and R² each have as described above, and preferable forms thereof are also the same.

n represents 1 or 2 and particularly preferably represents 1.

Formula (1) is described such that a cis-structure and a trans-structure are not differentiated and has a meaning of including the both. The same is also applied to interpretation of structural formulae of exemplified compounds below and a compound of Formula (2).

The preferable specific examples of the amino-substituted phosphazene compound are shown below. However, the invention is not limited by compounds described below, at all.

<Fluorinated Phosphazene Compound>

Subsequently, a compound represented by Formula (2) and an amine compound suitably used as a starting material compound used in a manufacturing method for the cyclic phosphazene derivative according to the invention are described.

The fluorinated phosphazene compound is preferably a compound represented by Formula (2) below.

n represents 1 or 2 and particularly preferably represents 1.

According to the invention, as a reaction material, a fluorinated phosphazene compound is selected among the halogenated phosphazene compound. Reasons thereof include advantages on an application as described above, and also include advantages on reaction in a relationship with a catalyst employed in the invention. Halogenated phosphazene discharges a halogen atom in the system at the time of substitution reaction thereof. Among these, a fluorine anion has higher reactivity compared with a chlorine anion and the like (for example, see Chem, Ber. 116, 367-374, (1983) “Darstellung and Strukturbestimmung von Ammoniak-Phosphorpentafluorid(1/1)”). Therefore, a fluorine anion reacts with an unreacted base material, and generates a by-product, in some cases. In this case, a yield or selectivity of a desired compound decreases. In contrast, a specific catalyst suitably applied to the invention suppresses this side reaction and has an effect of increasing yield•selectivity. That is, it is construed that the specific catalyst has an effect of trapping a fluorine anion in a system. In view of notably exhibiting such effects, according to the invention, as described above, a base material having a fluorine atom as a halogen atom and a specific catalyst are used in combination.

According to the preferable embodiment of the invention, a monosubstituted product and a disubstituted product of an amino group (particularly, a monosubstituted product) can be selectively synthesized. The reason is not clear but it is construed that the specific catalyst is appropriate for a barrier in reaction due to the number of substitutions (respective steps of consecutive reaction) and selectively generates the number of substitutions of compounds. Objects of JP1988-258928A (JP-S63-258928A) and JP1989-087635A (JP-S64-087635A) are not selectivity of the reaction but a high substitution ratio. A monosubstituted product or a disubstituted product of an amino group of fluorinated phosphazene (particularly, a monosubstituted product) is particularly useful for a flame retardant (WO2013/047342A).

As a method for supplying fluorinated phosphazene compound, commercially available products may be used or fluorinated phosphazene compound may be appropriately synthesized in a usual method. As a synthesis method of the fluorinated phosphazene compound, for example, Schmutzler, R. Inorg. Synth. 1967, 9, 75 can be referred to.

<Amine Compound>

The amine compound refers to a compound having an amino group in a chemical structure and the amino group is preferably NR¹R² (also can be referred to as NR³R⁴) above. The amine compound preferably has 1 to 12 carbon atoms, more preferably has 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and particularly preferably has 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Though the number of carbon atoms is small, the number of carbon atoms is preferably 1 to 3. Specifically, the amine compound is preferably a compound represented by H—NR¹R², and examples thereof include methylamine, ethylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, and ethylmethylamine. Among these, dimethylamine and diethylamine are particularly preferable. R¹ and R² are the same as those defined in Formula (1) above. In the amine compound, as described above, R¹ and R² may form a ring, and preferable forms thereof are the same as those exemplified as rings formed by R¹ and R² of amino-substituted phosphazene.

In the reaction according to the invention, when a fluorine atom bonded to a phosphorus atom of a fluorinated phosphazene compound is substituted with an amino group, a desorbed fluorine atom and a hydrogen atom that an amine compound has are bonded to each other to generate hydrogen fluoride. In order to neutralize the generated hydrogen fluoride, a basic compound may be added. Examples of the added basic compound include organic or inorganic compounds, but an organic salt group is particularly preferable. Examples of the organic salt group include triethylamine and diisopropylethylamine. In case of amine substitution reaction, amine used in the substitution may be used in neutralization. Otherwise, a catalyst having favorable fluorine anion trapping properties may be used as described above, and the reaction may be ended in a form in which an fluorine anion is integrated in a catalyst.

<Specific Catalyst>

In the manufacturing method of the amino-substituted phosphazene compound according to the invention, a catalyst consisting of a compound having the specific element M and an oxygen atom in a structure is used in the reaction between a fluorinated phosphazene compound and an amine compound. This catalyst preferably consists of a compound having at least one of a M=0 bond or a M-O bond in a structure and more preferably consists of a compound having at least one of a M=O bond in a structure. The specific element M is at least one selected from magnesium, titanium, zirconium, vanadium, lithium, calcium, aluminum, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, or boron. Among these, the specific element is preferably magnesium, titanium, zirconium, lithium, calcium, aluminum, silicon, and boron, and more preferably magnesium, titanium, zirconium, and aluminum.

The compound that forms the specific catalyst is preferably Lewis acid. Here, the “Lewis acid” refers to a material that can receive a pair of electrons. According to the invention, among these, it is preferable to use a Lewis acid catalyst in which a fluorine anion trapping effect is high.

According to the invention, the specific catalysts may be used singly, or two or more types thereof may be used in combination.

In view of cost, the use amount of the specific catalyst is preferably 0.01 equivalents or greater, more preferably 0.05 equivalents or greater, even more preferably 0.2 equivalents or greater, and particularly preferably 0.25 equivalents or greater with respect to the fluorinated phosphazene compound that is a starting raw material. The upper limit thereof is preferably 5 equivalents or less, more preferably 3 equivalents or less, even more preferably 2 equivalents or less, and particularly preferably 1 equivalent or less.

In view of manufacturing efficiency, the temperature of the reaction according to the invention is preferably −20° C. or higher, more preferably −15° C. or higher, and particularly preferably −10° C. or higher. The upper limit thereof is preferably 100° C. or lower, more preferably 60° C. or lower, even more preferably 50° C. or lower, even more preferably 40° C. or lower, even more preferably 30° C. or lower, even more preferably 20° C. or lower, even more preferably 15° C. or lower, and even more preferably 10° C. or lower.

The reaction time of this reaction is generally 0.2 hours or longer and preferably 0.5 hours or longer. After the reaction ends, purification such as liquid separation and distillation can be performed, if necessary.

In this specification, a description of a compound (in a case of adding the expression “compound” at an end) is used as a meaning of including salts thereof, and ions thereof, in addition to the compound itself. The description has a meaning of including derivatives in which a part is changed, for example, a substituent is introduced, in the scope of exhibiting a desired effect.

With respect to a substituent, a linking group, or a ring structure in which substitution•non-substitution is not described, the substituent, the linking group, or the ring structure have meanings that may have arbitrary substituents.

These can be used singly or two or more types thereof may be used together in an arbitrary combination or an arbitrary ratio. Among these, a carbonaceous material or a lithium composite oxide is preferably used, in view of reliability.

A metal composite oxide is preferable since a metal composite oxide can occlude or discharge lithium, and it is preferable that titanium and/or lithium is contained as a configurational component, in view of charging and discharging characteristics at a high current density.

The carbonaceous material that is used as the anode active material is a material that is substantially formed of carbon.

The separator that is used in the nonaqueous secondary battery is preferably formed of a material that has mechanical strength, ion permeability, and oxidation-reduction resistance at a contact surface between the cathode and the anode for electrically insulating the cathode and the anode. As such a material, a porous polymer material, an inorganic material, an organic-inorganic hybrid material, or a glass fiber is used. It is preferable that the separator has a shutdown function for securing safety, that is, a function of interrupting the current by blocking pores at 80° C. or higher and increasing resistance, and the blocking temperature is preferably 90° C. to 180° C.

With respect to the forms of the inorganic material, a thin film-shaped material such as a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, or a microporous film is used. As the thin film-shaped material, a material having a pore size of 0.01 μm to 1 μm and a thickness of 5 μm to 50 μm is preferably used. In addition to the above-described independent thin film-shaped material, a separator obtained by forming a composite porous layer containing particles of the inorganic material described above on a surface layer of the cathode and/or the anode by using a binding agent formed of a resin can be used. Examples thereof include a separator obtained by forming a porous layer containing alumina particles having a 90% particle diameter of less than 1 μm on both surfaces of the cathode by using a binding agent formed of a fluororesin.

(Manufacturing of Nonaqueous Secondary Battery)

As the shape of the nonaqueous secondary battery according to the invention, any shape such as a sheet shape, a rectangular shape, or a cylindrical shape can be applied.
